Explanation of Responses:
1. This transaction constitutes an internal transfer of 4,305,541 shares of Common Stock from Nestle Health Science US Holdings, Inc. ("NHS") to Societe des Products Nestle S.A. ("SPN"). The Common Stock was held by NHS. NHS is a wholly owned subsidiary of NIMCO US, Inc. ("NIMCO"). NIMCO, in turn, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nestle US Holdco, Inc. ("Nestle US Holdco"), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPN. The ultimate parent company of NHS, NIMCO, Nestle US Holdco and SPN is Nestle S.A. ("Nestle"). Following the transfer, SPN and Nestle may be deemed to share voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock. Nestle disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein. Subsequent to this internal transfer, each of NHS, NIMCO, and Nestle US Holdco no longer hold any shares of Common Stock and are therefore no longer Reporting Owners.
